How to play:
Choose a mode such as Exhibition, Season, or Franchise, then pick your team and set difficulty and rules to match your playstyle.
Call plays on offense and defense from your playbook, mixing runs, passes, blitzes, and coverages to counter your opponent’s tendencies.
Execute each snap with timing and vision, moving the ball carrier, leading receivers on throws, and using cuts, jukes, and spins to create space.
Make pre-snap adjustments by audibling, hot-routing receivers, shifting the line, and sending players in motion to exploit coverages and fronts.
Play disciplined defense by switching to the nearest defender, containing edges, timing tackles and swats, and disguising coverage to force turnovers.
Grow your team in Franchise by setting depth charts, developing players, managing signings, reviewing film with stats, and refining your playbook week to week.
